The CWO Foundation seeks to ensure the long-term well being of the community through enabling the best of its youth to develop their full potential through study at the highest quality colleges and universities in the country— an aim that might be beyond their normal expectations.

It looks for determination and strong character in its candidates, and asks scholarship winners to do what they can to contribute back to the community in later life.

The scholarship is designed primarily to allow students already intending to pursue further study to raise their sights to the very best colleges and universities in America.

Although only one annual award is envisioned, the Foundation hopes that even non-successful applicants will be encouraged to upgrade their ambitions in their choice for further study and, in so doing, uncover other sources of financing for their college studies.

By working in partnership with SCHS, the Foundation also supports the high academic ambitions of the Susquehanna Community School District.
